- 1981: Romanticism In The Aspect Of N
- ... the focus of Romantic painters. Romantic painters rebelled against the objectivity and composure of the prevailing Neoclassic style. The art is colorful, expressive, and full of movement. Though we have not read or talked about John Constable I thought he was a very interesting artist. John Constable's Wivenhoe Park, Essex (1816), is a pristine example of his scientific approach to capturing the qualities of atmosphere, light, and sky. Constable used God in nature, creativity, and the peaceful aspects of nature ...
- 1982: Piercy’s “Simple Song” and Donne’s “A Lecture upon the Shadow”: Human Desire For Love
- ... labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories.” Both Marge Piercy’s “Simple Song” and John Donne’s “A Lecture upon the Shadow” focus on the human desire to have someone to love and all the obstacles that prevent a union from happening. In the beginning of a relationship, “when we ... An open heart is a gigantic risk. It means chancing that someone else will break it. But if you leave the door to your heart closed no one will ever be able to steal it. John Donne’s “A Lecture upon the Shadow” has a similar theme. The central metaphor in the poem is the comparison of love to shadows. A shadow is fleeting. Donne thinks that love is short-lived ...
- 1983: The Catcher in the Rye: Holden's Fall From Innocence
- ... not startling to the reader because of the authors use of foreshadowing and therefore it is effective. This book has been steeped in controversy since it was banned in America after it's first publication. John Lennon's assassin, Mark Chapman, asked the former Beatle to sign a copy of the book earlier in the morning of the day that he murdered Lennon. Police found the book in his possession upon ... Chapman. However, the book itself contains nothing that could be attributed with leading Chapman to act as he did - it could have been any book that he was reading the day he decided to kill John Lennon - and as a result of the fact that it was The Catcher in the Rye, a book describing a nervous breakdown, media speculated widely about the possible connection. This gave the book even more ...
- 1984: Eliot's Views of Sexuality as Revealed in the Behavior of Prufrock and Sweeney
- ... as a possible lover; he imagines her brisk, cruel response; "That is not what I meant, at all." He imagines that she will want his head on a platter and they did with the prophet John the Baptist. He also fears the ridicule and snickers of other men when she rejects him. Prufrock imagines "And would it have been worth it, after all," and if she did not reject him it ... reveal that the author feels that he is inferior to women. He does not deserve the love of a maiden, but is only suitable for a prostitute. The lines where he refers to the prophet John the Baptist and to Lazarus tells me that he has a deep interest in religion and Christianity. Religion does dictate strong views of sex and marriage, whereas a man must suppress all feelings of lust ...
- 1985: Cry, The Beloved Country: The Breakdown and Rebuilding of South African Society
- ... he also fears much, which almost automatically sets off other peoples fears. Kumalo is afraid to see his son in prison; Absalom fears his dad's reaction; Gertrude fears rejection and the shame she caused; John fears the police and prison; etc., etc. “Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end.” (pg. 74). If all of this degradation were to be added up there would definitely be ... rebuilding of relationships through compassion toward others. Stephen Kumalo realizes that there still is love between himself and his brother. He knows this because he shares some of the same views that his brother does. John said that the only hope that he sees is for the blacks and whites to work together in love for the good of the country. The people of Johanasburg still have some religious ties they ...
- 1986: Alex's Analysis of Any Abject Abuse
- ... also recognizes their sincerity in attempting to be polite and well-mannered and pretend to recognize where the true values lie. Pope satirizes female vanity. He wrote the poem at the request of his friend, John Caryll, in an effort to make peace between real-life lovers. The incident of the lock of hair was factual; Pope's intention was to dilute with humor the ill feelings aroused by the affair ... that springs from "amorous causes" and the "mighty contest s" that rise from "trivial things" (1-2) -- hardly the lofty and weighty subjects of epic poetry -- and names his Muse "Caryll" (3) for his friend John Caryll, the relative of the young lord who stole the lock of hair from Arabella Fermor -- not the proper sort of Muse for epic poetry. By way of mythological spirits hovering over earthly concerns, Pope ...
- 1987: Flaws in Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"
- ... the time when Huck says, “It's me. George Jackson, sir”(pg. 95). I do have to give him that the feud was interesting filler, but you can only take so much filler. Then when John Wayne (The Duke) and Elvis (The King) come along there seem to be four or five stops along the river that except for one little detail, are the same. Please excuse the jump back, but ... Jim and eventually embarks on a quest. The quest to find Jim. This journey would be much like the journey he and Jim took just a few years ago. This time though, there is no John Wayne and Elvis to make the story drawn out and boring towards the end. Then Huck finds Jim, meets the wife and kids, and goes back home to lead a normal (or as normal as ...
- 1988: A Case of Needing: Serious Revisions
- ... accused of performing the D & C that has resulted in her death. Though Lee is known to be an abortionist, he vehemently denies any involvement in the case.

John Berry careens back and forth from one Boston hospital to another, trying to figure out who actually performed Randall's abortion, and why it killed her. The investigation is complicated by the fact that Randall ...
- 1989: Jarassic Park: The Dinosaurs Were Not To Blame For The Destruction of Jurassic Park
- ... bodies of insects that once bit the now-extinct animals and were then trapped and preserved in amber for millions of years. (This is, by the way, theoretically possible.) The project is the dream of John Hammond, a billionaire capitalist with a passionate interest in dinosaurs, who comes across in the novel as a bizarre combination of Ross Perot and Ronald Reagan -- part authoritarian martinet, part dissociated and childish old man ... bad subjects of the dinosaur population). The team of experts includes Alan Grant, a famous paleontologist known for his theories about dinosaur infant-rearing behavior, and his paleobotanist graduate student assistant, Ellie Sattler; and also John Malcolm, a brilliant and idiosyncratic mathematician whose field of expertise is chaos theory, which deals with turbulence and unpredictability -- complex 'real world' conditions that can only be described through non-linear equations. Malcolm, of course ...
- 1990: The Pearl: Depictions of Life
- The Pearl: Depictions of Life In John Steinbeck's The Pearl, a destitute pearl diver finds a giant pearl with which he hopes to buy peace and happiness for his family.

John Earnst Steinbeck, author of The Pearl and many other stories, was born on February 27, 1902, in Salinas, California. Both his father, who ran a flour mill, and his mother, a teacher, encouraged him to ...
